To all whom if may concern.'

Be it known that I, SOLOMAN NARUNSKY,

a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of .Maryland, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Non-Refillable Bottles, of which the following is a specication.

This invention relates to improvements in bottle stoppers and has particular reference to that class of bottle Stoppers which will permit liquidto be readily poured from the bottle but which will prevent the inflow of liquid tc the bottle to such extent as to render the refilling of the bottle connnercially iininacticable.

The invention consists in the novel con` struction, combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter described and particularly recited in the claim attached hereto.

The invention is illustratedin the accom` panying drawing, wherein,

Figure 1, shows a bottle neck in vertical section with the improved stopper device in place therein,-the latter' being shown in side elevation.

Fig. 2, illustrates a bottle neck with the stopper therein,-the casing of the latter being in longitudinal section to disclose the valve parts therein.

Fig. 3, shows the bottle neck, stopper casing and valve-parts in central longitudinal section the same being inverted as during the pouring operation.

F ig. l, illustrates in horizontal sectional plan, the stopper casing and valve parts as they would appear when viewed on the line H of Fig. 2.

F ig. 5, shows the detached valve parts in perspective, and

Fig. 6, illustrates the bottle neck with the stopper therein in top plan.

Referring to the drawing by numerals, 7, designates a bottle neck of ordinary con'- struction and preferably having an exterior annular locking shoulder 8, around its mouth for the engagement of well known crown cap.

A stationary eylmdrie shell 9, has anA an-` nular flange 10, around its outer end and 1s provided with an inner reduced end 11, so

as to form an annular shoulder 12, near said inner end. The annular flange 10, has a diameter that permits its snug engagement with the interior of the bottle neck while the main portion or body of the cylindric shell 9 V.between said outer :flange and the disk 18, may upright position.

paratively tight an ordinary.

:inner reduced end is sufficiently smaller than the neck in diameter to form around the shell'an annular'space for the reception Suitable vertical notches 1a, are provided in the annular flange 10, through which the cement 13, may be readily filled into the space between the neck and shell, and a washer 15, encircles of a cement 18.

the reduced inner end of the shell and closes the said annulaispace and prevents the cement from passing down into the bottle during the operation of securing the shell in the neck. i

The inner reduced end of the shell has a central flaring passage 16, and at the outer smaller end of said passage said shell has an annular seat 17, on which a circular valve seat when the bottle is vin an Immediately above lthe valve' seat 17, the interiorof the shell has a Y wardly-pro'jecting ribs 19, at the base of which there are annular horizontal shoulders 20,4the shoulders extending from vone.

the drawing. i

On the interior of the shell and immediately over the valve disk-18, I provide a puppet valve 21, which latter'has a cavity 22, in its bottom side of sufficient size t0 receive the valve disk 18, and also has a plurality has a recess 2e', of a size and shape to snugly lit the ribs 19, on the inside of the shell.

Whenthe bottle is in an upright position the puppet valve 21, seats on thel annular shoulders 20, of the shell and the lugs 28, fit down over the ribs 19, so that a cornjoint is effected between puppet valve and shell, and at this the disk valve 18, will be supported on the annular seat 17, beneath the puppet valve to cut 0E flow of liquid from the upper side of the said valve through the passage 16. The puppet valve has a tapered stop plug 25, projecting from its upper side and is also provided with an annular seat 26,A around the base of the a purpose presently to be described.

Around the ytapered plug 25, I provide a loose ring 27, with an annular ,recess or said time seat 28, at its lower side, of a shape to conaround the base of the 110 of side lugs `23, each of which latter l said plug for plurality of up-V rib to another as shown in Figs?) and of Yanother comparatively Above the projecting end of the taperedplug the interior of the shell contains' a batlie member 30, which latter has a plurality of guide lugs 31, around its exterior and also has a recess 32, in its outer or upper side. The Vunder side of this battle member seats on the pointed end of the stop plug and by reason or its weight aids in pressing the plug and puppetvalve down so as to seat the latter. rIhe guide lugs 31,

around the ba'lile member provide side pas- 1 sages 38, Jr'or the passage of liquid during the pouring operation. I

An interior shoulder 34, is provided in the shell near the outer end so that a retaining ring 35, may seat thereon and pre# vent the removal of' the stopper parts Jrornl the shell. mented in the shell to Jfacilitate the entrance of air pouring operation, I provide a series of pas-V sages 36, that extend from the upper side of the retaining ring 35, and open vatrthe lower side thereof.

It will be understood that when the bottle This retaining-ring may be ceprevent removal. To during thc is in an Vupright position a seal Ywill beV formed between the seat 28 of the ring and the seat 26 around Vthe plug; a second seal Copies of this patent may be obtained Afor five cents each,

will be formed puppet lvalve and of said Vvalve and of the shell and a third seal will be el'ected by the 'disk valve 18, seating on the annular seat 17, thereby eectively preventing the commercial refilling of the bottle.

7l/len the bottle is inverted a free passage yfor the liquid will be provided through passage 16; out through the space between ribs 19; then between the lugs 23, of the puppet valve; through the center of ring 21; then aro-und baille 30, and through passages 33 and finally out through retaining ring 35.

Suticient space is left in the shell between the retaining ring and the outer end to permit the insertion of a stopper.

Having thus described my invention what I claim isf'- y The combination with a bottle neck, of a shell in said neck said shell'having a central passage at its inner end with an annular recess at the outer end of said passage; a disk valve normally in the annular recess; ribs on the inside oit` the shell at the outer side of the annular recess; a valve having exterior recesses to receive the ribs .in the -shell said valve having an outwardly-projecting tapered plug; a movable ring around the tapered plug; a retaining ring in the shell near the outer end thereof and a movable'balile in the shellbetween the end oi the tapered plug andthe retaining ring.

In testimony whereof I ailiX my signature in presence of two witnesses.
